73 Teleportation? - 73

Zhou Fan looked at the sword with pride. An incredible creation indeed. He looked forward to increasing its strength in the future.

Unfortunately, condensing one planet was the limit of his ability. Otherwise, he would merge the entire solar system with his sword. It seems that would have to wait a little while.

Zhou Fan made the sword float beside him and looked out into the starry abyss. Even with his current speed, it would take forever to get somewhere.

Therefore, Zhou Fan decided to try and use space Qi to speed up his travels. Zhou Fan first tried to cover his entire body with space Qi. Although it made him feel more powerful and even a little faster, it wasn't nearly enough.

He then tried applying it to the bottom of his feet. This time, he was sped up quite a lot. However, he wanted to be faster.

Zhou Fan continued to try new ideas. Unfortunately, nothing was working better than applying space Qi to the bottom of his feet.

Just as he was about to accept his fate, an idea came to his mind. Instead of applying space Qi to himself, what if he used it to manipulate the space! He may be able to cut the distance of the next solar system in half.

He tried, but realized that he wasn't strong enough. Although his power was enough to shatter space, manipulating an entire area in ways that didn't follow the laws of physics was impossible.

He had no choice but to go back to the drawing board. Zhou Fan stood in space with a sword floating by his side for a few minutes before he came up with an idea.

Instead of manipulating an entire area of space, what if he only manipulated two points! With his understanding of the Dao, he could theoretically make a small tunnel with only an entrance and an exit. A tunnel with no inbetween.

Zhou Fan got right to it and made a circle in front of him. It was so flat that it couldn't be seen from the side. It would even be a stretch to call it three dimensional.

It was like drawing on a piece of paper and trying to see that drawing from the side.

Using a lot of Space Qi, Zhou Fan was able to quickly form the first part of a tunnel. He then looked to his destination. Even with his eyesight, it was hard to see the next solar system.

Zhou Fan stepped into the tunnel and used all of his Qi to make him appear at the furthest distance possible. He exhausted every single strand of Qi and instantly appeared in a place far away from where he previously was.

Before he could even look where he appeared, Zhou Fan collapsed from Qi exhaustion. In his excitement, he forgot that it even existed.

Without seeing where he appeared, Zhou Fan lost consciousness.

------------------

3 days later, Zhou Fan opened his eyes. It had taken a while, but he managed to recover all of his Qi. In fact, he had recovered his Qi 2 days ago, but since he had so abrubtly milked himself dry, he remained unconscious for longer than necessary.

'I probably shouldn't do that again.' Zhou Fan thought to himself.

He finally managed to take a look at where he appeared and realized that he was five lightyears away from his previous location. Although he had been floating in space for the last three days, he hadn't really gone anywhere.

Therefore, he could accurately guess that he moved 5 lightyears. Although the distance he moved in an instant didn't sound bad, what would've taken 4 or 5 hours turned into a 3 day journey.

Zhou Fan decided to simply accept his fate. He also decided to name the previous technique 'teleportation.'

Without waiting for too long, Zhou Fan started to fly to the closest solar system. Since he was done experimenting, he powered himself up with Qi and used Space Qi on his feet in order to move at the fastest possible speed.

He named the technique 'Space Walking.'

Using spacewalking, Zhou Fan was able to travel 3 lightyears in 10 minutes. An utterly unbelievable speed. By the time he made it, he had only used up a fourth of his Qi.

The new solar system was similar to the previous one. This time, there was a planet made entirely out of diamonds.

Zhou Fan couldn't help but think of how people on earth would react to seeing this. Although it didn't really matter in the long run.

If they ever managed to make it so far, they would either be a cultivator or have some incredibly advanced technology. Either way, it would be useless to them.

Zhou Fan traveled to a couple more solar systems before he started to get bored. Although the sights would never get old, it was getting repetitive. Instead of wandering aimlessly, Zhou Fan decided to try and find a destination.

Although there was a saying that the journey was more important than the destination, Zhou Fan felt that the person who said that was probably stupid.

Although he could somewhat understand it in a different context. If he was given the choice to immediately reach the highest realm of cultivation, if there is a highest realm, or continue to cultivate to it himself, he would choose to make it there himself without hesitation.

At this point, his only hobby was cultivation. His only friend was cultivation. Even his only lover was cultivation. If he ever reached a limit, he wouldn't know what to do.

In the current context, the saying was still dumb. Therefore, Zhou Fan chose to try and head in the direction of the Dao. He sat down and crossed his legs. He went into the deepest reaches of his mind in order to try and find it, but he was only able to sense its existence.

He was completely clueless as to where it actually was, if it was anywhere. With that, Zhou Fan set out on a journey to find the Dao once again.
